About the speaker
Every speaker stays for the break after their talk. Find them by the coffee in Hall B.
[03] HOW A SESSION RUNS
Thirty minutes, one question
The format is the same in every room, so you always know when to move.

Doors close
Doors close when the talk starts. Late arrivals wait for the first slide change.

One question
The host picks one question from cards collected in the room. Write yours on the card on your seat.
00:40

[05] TICKETS
Hear it in the room
Recordings come later. The question from the floor, the coffee after and the press in The Loft don’t.
[13] ONE EMAIL, WHEN THE PROGRAMME PRINTS
Hear about speakers before the posters go up
Four emails a year: the first names, the full programme, the workshops and the week before the doors open. Nothing else.
